…”Behold, I send you forth as sheep amongst wolves” (Mathew 10:16 NKJV)
…” Its inside is too big for you to notice you are trapped, too crowded to learn you are alone, too loud to realize your will has been silenced. As misery loves company, people around may try to convince you it is all fine but your guts know better” (Article:The Beast)
But falling inside its belly doesn’t happen overnight, as we have tendencies and weaknesses that hint towards what will become of us should we not make the right adjustments; For the “Bizz” has a deep understanding of your main drivers and will not hesitate on using its whole repertoire to make come alive your darkest motives. Loud mouths in your surroundings whispering hate with the intention of pushing all your buttons catalyzing that feeling of threat and activating your killer instinct. The Adrenaline rush is just sometimes too intense to ignore. The most effective counter-attack is being unresponsive like a rock and stand still against their will. …”your thick skin will develop as a consequence of several encounters with individuals of a piercing nature” (Article: The Dragon’s Den)
“The Devil tempt us not; ’tis we who tempt him, beckoning his skill with opportunity” (quote by George Eliot)
Those conveniently, misplaced items for you to take advantage of, are usually the ones that place you where you will be taken advantage of.
Offering a ride home to a “lady in the night”, should you not chose your words properly, could be interpreted as offering a ride home to a “lady of the night”. Even though they are not bad women, occasionally, they are bait women working for the “Bizz”. But the hero is always watching whether it be as a night owl looking at mice and men or as a fellowship of the ring to rule all the US.
However, at times the ring master is not the hero. The best illustration for this statement is a novel by the name: “The Adventures of Pinocchio”, where the ringmaster gets Pinocchio, after he transforms into a donkey on pleasure island. Once sold, Pinocchio is forced to perform tricks in a circus, suffering abuse such as whippings and being forced to work despite injuries.
The most “real life” Pinocchio narrative, with a not so happy ending…
It comes in the story of Ota Benga, a Congo Pygmy who was a former slave and became a performer in 1904. Benga had been purchased from native African slave traders by Samuel Phillips Verner, a business man searching for African people to be used as exhibition for entertainment. Benga became a performer at the Bronx Zoo and while in there he was stationed in a cage with an Orangutan for promotion of Social Darwinism. To enhance the primitive image and presumably protect himself if need be from the orangutan, he was given a bow and arrow. He used this instead to shoot at visitors who mocked him and partially as a result of this the exhibition was ended. African American Newspapers published editorials strongly opposing Benga’s treatment, and consequently in late 1906 the mayor released Benga to the custody of James H Gordon a person in charge of supervising the Howard colored Orphan asylum in Brooklyn. Eventually Benga tried to return to Africa but the outbreak of world war 1 in 1914 stopped all passenger ship travel causing Benga to develop depression and die by suicide in 1916.
Time and Liberty are two valuable resources that the BIZZ feeds off, However some LUCKY fathers had the wisdom to protect their Cubs from the Wolf, as they WERE-WOLVES once; For the Hero is a MONSTER acting as a celestial guide.
